The rising drone between 40 and 60 mph on AWD cars, a bench test for the viscous unit, and the fluid that is routinely got wrong.
The two failure modes that account for most lean banks on the V6. Smoke test, gasket numbers, idle MAF window.
Blocked scuttle drains flood the passenger carpet and take the body control module with them.
Where it starts, how far it usually goes, and the points a tester reaches for first.
